9 Claims, 7 Drawing Figures CARTRIDGE-TYPE LIPSTICK CONTAINER OR THE LIKE This invention relates to an improved lipstick container construction, and in particular to a lipstick of the removable cartridge type wherein the cartridge assembly is received in an outer decorative casing.
It is an object of the invention to provide an improved device of the character indicated.
Another object is to provide a cartridge-type refill-container construction featuring improved locking engagement between the parts when the cartridge is received in the housmg.
A further object is to meet the above objects with a device in which adequately positive locking action is assured as long as the parts are assembled, and yet they may be unlocked by simple manipulation.
A still further object is to meet the above objects with a basic insert construction for an outer decorative casing so as to render the cartridge and insert structure universally applicable to a plurality of outer casing configurations, and so as also to inherently receive and secure a plurality of types of refill-cartridge construction, said insert construction being basically usable in the most delicate of outer casing structures.
A specific object is to meet the foregoing objects with a construction in which the same parts and formations serve both the functions of axial locking and angular keying of the car tridge to the outer decorative casing.
Other objects and various further features of novelty and invention will be pointed out or will be apparent to those skilled in the art from a reading of the following specification in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In said drawings, which show, for illustrative purposes only, a preferred form of the invention:
FIG. 1 is a view in elevation of an assembly according to the invention with a cartridge refill received in the base housing member of the outer decorative housing, the closure cap being suggested in phantom outline;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view in perspective showing an insert shell construction incorporated into the base housing structure ofFIG. 1;

FIG. 7 is a fragmentary sectional view of part of the insert, taken substantially at the radial plane 77 of FIG. 2.
Briefly stated, the invention contemplates an improved refill cartridge and insert construction for use in lipstick containers involving outer decorative casings, the insert being permanently assembled into the bore of the base of the outer decorative casing. The particular feature of the invention resides in locking or detent action between a part of the base end of the refill cartridge and an inwardly projecting insert part which also has keyed rotary driving engagement with the base end of the cartridge. The nature of the action is such as to permit smooth insertion and removal of the cartridge with minimum transient distortion of the outer decorative casing. No residual stress is applied to the casing once the insertion or the removal of the cartridge has been completed.
Referring to FIG. 1 of the drawings, the invention is shown in application to a cartridge-refill container designated generally 10, removably received within the lower or base half of an outer decorative housing member, designated generally 11. The housing member is shown to be generally cylindrical and to comprise a lower cylindrical end 12 and an upper or reduced cylindrical end 13. A stop formation such as the bead l4 separates the two cylindrical portions 12-13, and the entire assembly is closed when desired by placement of the closure cap 15 over the sleeve portion 13 for friction retention, as by nib means 17 adjacent the bead 14. The cartridge refill 10 may be of the type employing two relatively rotatable parts to produce propel-repel action of a lipstick carrier therewithin, and it suffices for present purposes to identify the upper or application end 16, which may be cylindrical, having an opening through which the lipstick is selectively projected, and in addition, to identify a lower or base operating end 18 received and concealed within the base housing member 12.
When the closure cap 15 is removed and with the parts then as shown in solid outline in FIG. 1, the lipstick within the cartridge 10 is projected and retracted in accordance with relative rotation of the exposed cartridge part 16 and the base housing member 12. This is done by means of a keyed engagement between the base end 18 of the cartridge and a suitable formation or formations within the bore of the base housing member 12. These formations serve not only to provide the indicated keying engagement but also coact with the base end 18 to achieve a two-way acting detent snap-lock function.
In accordance with the invention, the formation or formations in the bore of the casing 11 are provided as one or more radially inward projections 19 in the wall of an insert or shell 20 (FIG. 2). The insert 20 is permanently assembled to the bore of the outer decorative casing part 12, so as to permit universal adaptability to a wide variety of outer decorative casings, to suit particular customer requirements.
As shown, the insert 20 comprises an elongated cylindrical shell portion 21 which conforms to the axial and diametrical extent of the bore of casing part 12, and the lower end 22 is closed to provide both bottom and cylindrical support for the casing part 12. To relieve the need for total reliance on a pressfit to assure permanent assembly, a small circumferential bead 23 is shown formed in the cylindrical portion 21, at a location near but spaced from the bead l4. Bead 14 is shown as an integral formation of insert 20, and the reduced neck 13 is also integral therewith. The casing part 12 may be of any material including injection-molded plastic; it has a smooth bore contiguous to the insert surface 21, and is axially retained at an internal groove into which bead 23 snaps upon telescoped assembly. The entire described insert 20 is preferably made of thin stiffly resilient metal, such as a suitable brass or steel, and may be formed from flat stock, of 0.010- to 0.012-inch thickness, on a so-called eyelet machine.
The nature of keying and detent action is such that the inward projection or bump l9 interferes transiently with a part of the base 18 as the cartridge is assembled to the insert 20. The interference causes local resilient radial deformation of the cylindrical portion 21 and, once past the interference, the projection 19 is retained within one of the plurality of like, equally spaced local depressions 24 which characterize the base end 18. Preferably, the depressions 24 and projection 19 are of matching contour, with slight clearance after assembly, so as to assure against prolonged residual radial stress on the cylindrical part 12 of outer casing 11. As shown, both the projection l9 and the depressions 24 are axially elongated, for better loading of abutting surfaces when rotary drive torque is applied.
Referring to the detailed sectional views of FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, the depressions 24 are seen to extend axially between a circumferential bead 25 and the apparently enlarged bottom end 26 of the base 18. In reality, this is only an appearance, resulting from the fact that depressions 24 are local inward deformations in the otherwise cylindrical wall of the base 18. Since depressions 24 occur axially upward of the bottom end 26, there necessarily remains a generally circular bead at 26, by which the depressions 24 terminate short of the bottom end 26. The radial extent of the bead at 26 may thus be said to define a terminal plane (marked X) at its maximum. It is the radial extent at the terminal plane X which is relied upon to achieve detent interference with projection 19. Yet, when projection 19 is in full axial and angular register with one of the depressions 24, having completely traversed the terminal plane, the local resilient stress of insert 20 is relieved with a gentle snap action, and the parts are removably locked in place.
it will be seen that l have described an improved construction meeting all the stated objects. The mechanism lends itself to a wide range of decorative casing employments. For example, the molded casing part 12 may be brittle by reason of intaglio or relief external features, or it may be smooth and relatively thin and translucent, to develop pearlescent effects when the smooth supporting surface 21 is brightly finished or is otherwise characterized; for variously colored and striated effects, a propionate-type material such as that known as C.A.P. may be used. Even the bright highlight of the bead 23, as viewed through translucent material, may enhance the decorative appeal. The inventive action may be achieved when only one or when a plurality of projections 19 are formed in the surface 21, and I generally prefer to utilize two or three projections 19. In the latter event, the angular spacing between adjacent projections 19 is an integer multiple of the angular spacing of adjacent depressions 24. The gently rounded undulations of and between depressions 24 appear clearly in FIG. and will be appreciated as providing angular camming coaction with projection 19, to assure ultimately correct angular registry of the mated formations 19-24.
While the invention has been described in detail for the preferred form shown, it will be understood that modifications may be made without departure from the invention.
